US Trip to meet Founders and Investors in SF and NY (Flights and Hotels paid for)

Applications for the next cohort will open November 2018

The Space

The programmes are based out of the Ormeau Baths - a brand new coworking space in the centre of Belfast, founded by entrepreneurs Jon Bradford, Mark Dowds, Aaron Taylor and Steve Pette with support from tech leaders from Northern Ireland’s digital diaspora, including FanDuel’s Nigel Eccles and Sarah Friar of Square.

All companies accepted onto the programmes get free office space in Ormeau Baths for the duration of the programme, with the option to stay on for up to an additional 6 months, dependent on progress.

The Team

Our team have accelerated more than 100 startups since 2011 and have a strong track record selecting and supporting promising companies. The majority of us have founded businesses, raised investment, been knocked down, got back up. We’ve walked a mile in plenty of shoes.
